Pakistan. It was a match that India went on to lose. If India had won that game chances are Arshdeep would not have had to face the ugly hate that he eventually did. What was heartening to see was the immense support that Arshdeep received from the cricketing fraternity overall. The selectors and team management have also continued to back him and he has been picked in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup as well. TimesofIndia.com spoke to Arshdeep's childhood coach who said that Arshdeep was at no point bothered about or affected by the trolling on social media. "Arshdeep is a brave guy and doesn't care about being trolled. He dropped a catch but still grabbed the opportunity with both hands when his captain asked him to bowl the last over," Jaswant Rai, Arshdeep's childhood coach told TimesofIndia.com. Arshdeep in fact was given the 20th over to bowl in both the Super 4 matches that India lost (vs Pakistan and vs Sri Lanka). In both matches Arshdeep was asked to defend 7 runs.
Sri Lanka took out a victory parade on an open-top bus to celebrate their title triumph in a memorable Asia Cup 2022.

But against all odds, Dasun Shanaka and co. played a very brave brand of T20 cricket to clinch the island nation's 6th Asia Cup title and deliver a sense of joy and relief to a crisis-hit nation. The loss in their Asia Cup opener was their only defeat in the tournament this time, with the Lankans registering an epic turnaround, winning 5 straight games after the defeat to Afghanistan to go all the way in the 2022 edition of the tournament, which was only the second time that the Asia Cup was played in the T20I format.
Speaking about the dual responsibilities, Savita said, "The position of goalkeeper is a different responsibility. As an experienced goalkeeper, I always train with the mind-set that I have to help the team. As a captain, your responsibility increases because you have to take care of your game and also manage the performance of your team." Savita led Indian in the debut season of the FIH Pro League 2021/22 where the team finished third.
Mark Boucher admits he is concerned about the diminishing amount of Test cricket being played and believes recent results show the format has adapted to the modern game which prizes entertainment over grit. Hours after seeing his side beaten 1-2 by England in their Test series, Boucher announced on Monday he would step down as coach after the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia that starts next month. South Africa are due to play a reduced number of 28 Tests in the next four-year cycle to make space in the calendar for their new domestic T20 league, Cricket South Africa CEO Pholetsi Moseki told ESPNcricinfo.

David Warner says he still considers leadership roles a privilege and is ready to talk to Cricket Australia about ending the ban imposed on him for his part in the Newlands ball-tampering incident. The 35-year-old was banned from the elite game for a year and from leadership positions for life by Cricket Australia after he was adjudged to have played the leading role in the 2018 scandal. Australia have a vacancy as one-day international captain after Aaron Finch decided to step down on the back of a poor run of form and there is no guarantee he will continue as Twenty20 skipper after the upcoming World Cup.
